Ohhh those grands of yours are so adorable and well trained. I'm going to do the "fold hands" thing the next time I'm dealing with a grand and a mixing bowl at the same time. I'll pray that it works. :D

My little 10 month old grand girlie Maggie is coming to visit all day Thursday - can't wait - we're going to mix up a cake - she loves to play with the measuring spoons and she makes her own motor sound while the mixer is running!

Each and every baker and family for that matter prefers their own recipe and every year when I serve it I hear about the differences of the recipes. My recipe originated with Terry's grandmother. I have added and subtracted until it was to my liking. My own mom's recipe was much lighter with more eggs but it tended to be dry. This recipe smells unbelievably wonderful while baking. If you attempt to make it, prepare for requests for another batch. If you are not careful, before you know it, you will be expected to begin baking it the day after Valentines day because of the demand. It is easiest if you have a blender to make a really light dough. When the orange, lemon, eggs, milk and butter are added to the blender, let it blend on Medium for several minutes.
